It is the Kawasaki Artificial Island, which is part of the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line. According to Wikipedia, the tunnel, which connects Kawasaki to Kisarazu, is about 10 miles long.

A close-up picture of the island can be found here. You also can see one of the entrances to the tunnel here (it is directly in line with the island), which also serves as some sort of tourist attraction:

That’s amazing! Hey, you Tokyo-philes anyone know where the entrances are to the G-Cans network, seen Here. Or is it all underground and covered up. Tokyo is MIND-BLOWING from space, isn’t it. I’ve spent hours now following Shinkansen lines and sightseeing the back alleys, looks good from up here.

And if you look closely you see you can go north or south into other tunnels. The north one comes up at the airport not too far away. The south on comes up here, View Placemark and then you can turn north again into another tunnel!

I’ve been trying to find out what the two floating structures at the Kawasaki man-made island are. Could it be aquacultures? Does anybody know about this? Any suggestions are welcome!

Hawaii is one of the world’s great tourist destinations, with millions of people from around the world streaming into the islands each year. While most tourists lounge their time away on the beaches of Maui, Oahu, Molokai, Kauai, and the Big Island of Hawaii, many forget that there are eight major islands in the archipelago. Being Island Week, now is the perfect time to take a look at the other three major islands of the 50th state of the United States.
